My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 509 - 519: In the Game of Love, He Can’t Afford to Lose

Chapter 509: Chapter 519: In the Game of Love, He Can’t Afford to Lose

This time, the atmosphere inside the stretch Lincoln was quite pleasant, not to the point of making one feel chilled to the bone. However, what Shi Yi didn’t know was that at this moment, Leng Yixiu’s face was cold as ice.

There weren’t many stretch Lincolns in T City, and the one Shi Yi was in was a limited edition, with only a few worldwide. The owner of this car—Leng Yixiu only needed a pinky to figure out who it was.

Leng Yixiu originally thought that Shi Yi’s claims of having plans in the evening were just a pretext to avoid him. He did not expect that she really had plans.

Her plans involve Feng Chengyu, don’t they?

He had meticulously studied the information about Feng Chengyu. This man was different from other second-generation or third-generation rich kids in the country; his family history could be traced back to the Qing Dynasty.

At first, the Feng Family made their fortune by trading salt. Two hundred years ago, their business had already spread across the country. Later, when the country experienced turmoil, the whole family moved to France, where they made a fortune in the arms trade and established a fearsome gang, becoming one of the most prominent families in France at that time.

However, even the most glorious families face decline. By Feng Chengyu’s father’s generation, the Feng Family gradually fell into decline. Feng Chengyu’s parents both lost their lives in a gang struggle. Feng Chengyu, being overseas for his studies at the time, narrowly escaped with his life.

The matriarch of the Feng Family was old, and the family head had died in a gang struggle. Everyone thought the Feng Family would fall into ruin. Unexpectedly, Feng Chengyu, with his ruthless and unforgiving methods, drove all his enemies to the brink. Within just three short years, he eliminated all internal threats, and under his leadership, the Feng Family’s power had transformed dramatically in the last decade. His name had become one that inspired fear in countless people in the underworld.

But Feng Chengyu was no brute; he was keenly aware of the current situation in the country. So, in recent years, he had been working on legitimizing the Feng Family’s business. The arms trade was no longer their main source of profit. He had shifted his focus to the entertainment industry, real estate, and even dabbled in the electronics and technology sectors.

Leng Yixiu had to admit, Feng Chengyu was a formidable opponent, both in business and in matters of the heart.

In business, there are wins and losses; Leng Yixiu had long gotten used to it. But in love, his gaze sharpened—he could not afford to lose, nor would he allow himself to.

...

Shi Yi did not know what kind of evening event Feng Chengyu was taking her to, but her professional attire was definitely not suitable.

"Mr. Feng, if you want me to be your companion, you should give me some time to go home and change clothes, right?"

The man looked at his watch and said, "I’m afraid there’s no time."

Shi Yi thought about it and felt it was true. It would take an hour to drive home, and by the time she changed clothes and got everything ready, it would be too late.

"So, do you intend for me to attend the evening event dressed like this?"

The man tapped his fingers on the leather sofa a few times, impatience flashing briefly in his eyes. When the car passed by a department store, he said to the driver, "Stop."

"Yes, sir."

The stretch Lincoln stopped in front of the department store.

Shi Yi looked at the man beside her in confusion, unsure of his intentions, but saw him open the car door and step out.

Shi Yi finally understood, and cautiously asked, "Do you mean for me to buy an outfit here?"

The man nodded and reminded her, "You have half an hour."

"Half an hour?" She thought bitterly, does this man not know that women need time to shop for clothes?

In the end, Shi Yi got out of the car and entered the department store. She thought Feng Chengyu would wait in the car, but unexpectedly, he decided to accompany her inside.

Due to the limited time, Shi Yi went directly to the fourth floor, following the mall directory. Most of the clothes on the fourth floor were for mature women, with many international brands, all very expensive. After walking around, she luckily found a boutique selling evening gowns.

Seeing this, Shi Yi was delighted. It was like the saying, "Easier found than expected." However, while she was quick to act in other matters, in the mall, she caught Sister Xuan’s indecisiveness.

Staring at the various evening gowns, Shi Yi hesitated, not knowing which one to choose.

This yellow one? Too bright.

Maybe the red one? No, too bold.

Shi Yi circled the store several times, finding several gowns that looked good, but she couldn’t decide on one. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The sales assistant seemed to notice Shi Yi’s struggle and suggested with a smile, "Miss, if you can’t decide, why not ask your boyfriend for his opinion? After all, we women often dress to please the ones we care about."

Boyfriend?

Shi Yi was momentarily puzzled. When she realized and wanted to deny it, the man who had been silent by her side suddenly came up behind her.

He pointed to a black slit gown on her right, "Wrap that one up for her."

The sales assistant immediately beamed, "Sir, you have a good eye. I also think this dress suits the lady’s complexion and temperament. So, miss, you’ll take the black one?"

"All right, let’s go with this one." Indeed, the gown looked quite nice.

However, Shi Yi was puzzled. Feng Chengyu had been on the phone the whole time, seemingly not watching her try on dresses. How did he know which one to pick? Did he have eyes on the back of his head?

Due to the time constraints, Shi Yi didn’t have the sales assistant wrap the dress but went straight to the fitting room to change into the gown.

The gown was form-fitting, designed like a qipao, with a long skirt that reached almost to the ankles but featured a slit on the side.

Shi Yi’s fair skin and tall figure, along with the high heels she happened to be wearing, perfectly complemented the black slit gown, enhancing her overall charm.

She smiled with satisfaction as she looked in the mirror. Now this looked like she was ready for an evening event.

"Okay, let’s go." As Shi Yi was about to turn around, a pair of large hands pressed down on her shoulders.

"Wait."

Startled by the sudden pressure on her shoulders, Shi Yi instinctively looked up and saw in the mirror that the man had somehow appeared behind her.
